"It's not often that a parent and child can experience such a transformative academic journey side by side."

Meet Quincy and Kayin St. Georges, a mother-and-son duo graduating together as members of the NYU SPS Class of 2026 with their MS in Project Management from @nyusps_mt / @nyudpb.

Quincy, a student life counselor in Miami, returned to school after more than two decades, while Kayin brought his comfort with online learning from his homeschool experience. Together, they supported each other through assignments, shared ideas, encouraged one another during stressful moments, and are now using what they learned to develop a social media app as cofounders.

"We are using our project management skills to create a comprehensive project management plan, including defining the scope, building a work breakdown structure, managing timelines, and identifying potential risks," she explains.

St. Georges encourages prospective and current students to "stay organized, manage your time effectively, and don’t be afraid to ask questions. The reward at the end is worth it."

Key takeaways from Galaxy on her fellowship with @sensvita.co

On March 27, 2026, we helped launch the inaugural New York University x @themuseumofmodernart Hackathon, bringing together a cross-disciplinary group of NYU students for a day-long innovation challenge onsite at the museum.

Students from @nyusps @nyutandon @nyusteinhardt @nyu.courant and @nyutisch, utilized MoMA’s resources and APIs to develop creative yet practical solutions aimed at reimagining the onsite visitor experience.

Congratulations are due to every team for their hard work and creativity, with special recognition going to our award winners: Shared Frequency for Best Overall, Wegman’s Finest for Most Innovative, and Wildcats for Best Presentation.

This success was made possible by the partnership between MoMA’s digital leadership and @nyudpb. We also want to thank our judges, faculty, and the staff who supported these students as they turned creative ideas into technical reality. We also want to recognize Associate Dean @martinihrig and the MoMA staff for their incredible support in making the day such a seamless experience for everyone.

@pmi_org has published a case study on the benefits of accreditation with their Global Accreditation Center, highlighting @nyudpb & @nyusps_mt's MS in Project Management. The case study shows how @nyusps has leveraged GAC accreditation and partnership with PMI to grow program visibility, strengthen career readiness, and build employer confidence.

"We're preparing students to be excellent project managers, but also to understand how their work creates value—for organizations and for the world." — Juanita Woods, Academic Director,

Cornell Tech fellow, Temuulen Erdenebayar brings us with him on a day in the life of his fellowship, “on the island of innovation.”

#nyusps #wearesps #followthefellow #fellowship #innovationfellowship

Last week, the Integrated Marketing & Communications and Management and Technology departments hosted From Code to Customer, bringing together speakers from Audible, Stripe, and JPMorgan Chase to explore how tech, product, and marketing come together in real-world roles.

Key takeaways?
✨ Clear communication across teams is everything
✨ Customer empathy drives better products and campaigns
✨ AI is changing how we work, but creativity and strategy still matter

Students also walked away with career advice on networking, storytelling, and positioning themselves for roles that connect tech to business impact.

Thank you to our speakers and everyone who joined us for an insightful evening and networking session!

Let’s hear from Cornell Tech fellow, Galaxy!

“My name is Galaxy Okoro, a graduating candidate in the M.S. in Management and Analytics program, with a concentration in Risk Analytics, and a graduate of Howard University with a B.S. in Health Science.
Following my undergraduate studies, I moved to New York for a Healthcare Administration Fellowship as a rotational IT Analyst fellow.

In my current role, I work as a Data Analyst Development Associate with a background in health care administration, information technology, and electronic medical records. As a fellow in the NYU Innovation Fellowship, I was fortunate enough to work with SensVita.
 
 
@sensvita.co, a Cornell Tech Startup, is the next generation of health monitoring, creating contactless smart monitoring devices using clinical-grade accuracy and touchless monitoring to track heart and lung activity. With a focus on elder and veterinary care, SensVita fits seamlessly into existing care workflows, offering early-warning insights without adding burden to staff or families, and without requiring residents to wear devices. This technology is backed by leading research and supported by top institutions, including the National Science Foundation, NIH, and Cornell University.”

"Now, my easiest definition of home is New York City and the people at SPS." - Niranjana Rau, an MS in Project Management student and president of the SPS Graduate Student Council.

"As a third-culture kid from UAE and India, defining home has always been slightly difficult. But living in multiple places and living alone since I was 18 has given me the strength and resilience that define me as a person. My support system — my family and friends always taught me to aim for the stars, knowing they would be cheering me on always."

Niranjana has appreciated the resources available to her as an international student. "NYC and SPS truly accept you for your diversity and help you thrive in your uniqueness. As a young Indian woman building her career, SPS has provided me with a platform to meet people from diverse backgrounds and hone my own story, preparing me for what’s next."
